That’s not THAT long a day, but it’s a pretty nonstop day, if that makes sense. Very few breaks, no letting guard down. On the flip side, I learned a lot.

Since we’re making lists:

Faculty seem socially isolated

2/3 of faculty live in NYC or Princeton (see above) – not a great sign

Teaching load going up soon (from 1/1 to 1/2)

Funding seems an issue in general

CS department is split across several buildings

Many significantly older professors

Faculty seem friendly, forthcoming, and interested

Students are engaged and (mostly) interesting

Two profs closest to my research are both ~ my age and nice people

Many options for collaboration, I think

Um, east coast? duh?

Only one person harassed me a bunch about Cyc

I don’t have a synthesis. Too tired. But hey, it happened, and the world didn’t implode or anyfing, so that’s nice. I felt like it went pretty well, and like I had a good connection with many of the people I talked to. Maybe that’s accurate, maybe it was the sleep dep.
